Chicago, IL (July 28th, 2026) – Quantum Real Estate Advisors, Inc. has brokered the sale of a 5-property shopping center portfolio located throughout the Midwest. The properties are in Aurora, IL, Milford, OH, South Lebanon, OH, Appleton, WI & Kenosha, WI, and consist of roughly 67,000 square feet. The portfolio featured a diverse tenant lineup inclusive of local, regional, and national tenants. The purchaser is a global real estate investment manager focused on acquiring niche property types including essential service retail. The seller is a private syndicator based on the East Coast. Dan Waszak, Executive Vice President, and Brett Berlin, Senior Vice President, represented the seller in the transaction.
Mr. Berlin had the following comments regarding the transaction, “This portfolio stood out because of the embedded rent growth. With leases across several of these centers rolling in the next one to three years, the mark-to-market opportunities gave the buyer a clear runway to push NOI and improve operations at the centers.” Mr. Waszak continued, “The combination of credit quality, necessity-based tenancy and in-place cash flow with upside is exactly what buyers are targeting right now in Midwest Retail.”
